>>> BRIAN, I TOLD YOU THAT I CAN'T -- >> YOU'RE SERIOUSLY PASSING ON SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND SO YOU CAN SIT IN THE DARK WITH A WHISKEY IN A SANTA MUG. THAT'S SO SAD, MAN. THAT IS SO SAD. I THINK YOU'RE VERY RUDE, AND I DESERVE BETTER, AND SO DO YOU. ONCE AGAIN, SO SORRY. GOOD DAY. ♪ >> GOOD DAY. WELCOME BACK. THAT WAS A CLIP FROM THE NEW APPLE TV SERIES THAT WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT, "SHRINKING," THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DRAMEDY LOOKS AT THERAPY THROUGH A LIGHTHEARTED LENS. >> SO COOL. THAT'S RIGHT, FOLKS, IT FOCUSES ON GRIEVING THERAPIST WHO DECIDES TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST WITH HIS PATIENTS. NOW, TELLING THEM EXACTLY WHAT HE THINKS AND WE'VE GOT OUR NEXT GUEST HERE WHO STARS IN THE SERIES. PLEASE WELCOME ACTOR MICHAEL URIE. SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON. YOU TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW, AND YOU SAY IT'S ONE OF THE MOST REALISTIC ONES THAT YOU HAVE EVER BEEN ON. WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE CHARACTER, PLAYING BRIAN? >> YES, I'VE BEEN IN LOTS OF WHIMSICAL SHOWS. I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF THEATER WHERE THINGS ARE NOT QUITE REALISTIC, BUT I READ THE SCRIPT, AND IT WAS SO HUMAN, SO REAL. THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT IT DEALS WITH FEEL, YOU KNOW, LIKE -- THEY FEEL RIGHT NEXT TO REAL LIFE, AND I WAS VERY EXCITED AND HONORED TO GET TO BE PART OF THIS, AND I LOVE BREAKING STUFF. YOU SAW ME. DOING DAMAGE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE. >> AND YOU SAY, "GOOD DAY" SO WELL. I STARTED WATCHING IT AND IT'S SUCH A GOOD JUXTAPOSITION OF ART AND REALITY, AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOME COMEDY. THERE'S A LOT OF COMEDY IN THERE, BUT IT DEALS WITH THE SERIOUS ISSUE OF MENTAL HEALTH, AND I WAS READING THAT IT ACTUALLY INSPIRED YOU TO START THERAPY? IS THAT TRUE? >> YEAH. I JOINED -- I BEGAN THERAPY BECAUSE OF THIS SHOW. I KEPT GETTING SCRIPTS, AND EVERY EPISODE, THERE WOULD BE A NEW -- GRIEF IS THE REAL ISSUE THAT THE SHOW DEALS WITH, AND GRIEF MANIFESTS IN SO MANY WAYS. WE'VE ALL BEEN EXPERIENCING GRIEF, EVERYONE, BECAUSE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON THE LAST FEW YEARS, BUT LOTS OF OTHER KINDS -- ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION ARE ALSO DEALT WITH IN THE SHOW, AND I WAS READING THE SCRIPTS AND THINKING, I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THIS. I NEED TO LEARN MORE. AND I NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH AND TREAT MYSELF A LITTLE BIT BETTER. SO, I STARTED THERAPY, AND IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC. I HAVE THIS AWESOME THERAPIST, AND I'VE BEEN LEARNING A LOT ABOUT MYSELF, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T DO IT SOONER. I FEEL LIKE MENTAL HEALTH IS AS IMPORTANT AS PHYSICAL HEALTH. >> ALMOST CERTAINLY. >> WOW, YEAH. >> BACK TO "SHRINKING," QUICKLY, YOU'RE WORKING WITH HARRISON FORD. WERE YOU NERVOUS? >> OH MY GOSH. OF COURSE. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU GET TO WORK WITH SOMEBODY YOU HAD AN ACTION FIGURE OF? IT WAS FANTASTIC. BUT HE'S REALLY COOL. I MEAN, HE'S LIKE A REAL ACTOR. HE LOVES THE WORK, AND I WAS -- I DIDN'T SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE MY FIRST SCENE WITH HIM, BUT LIKE, WE GOT TO SET, AND HE WAS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, ANY OTHER ACTOR. SHOULD WE DO IT OVER HERE, BY THE DESK, WHAT DO YOU THINK? REALLY WANTED TO KNOW MY THOUGHTS, AND I LEARNED A LOT FROM HIM. HE REALLY UNDERSTANDS THE CAMERA AND BEING ONSET, AND HE'S -- HE'S TERRIFIC. AND HE'S SO GOOD IN THIS SHOW. THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST WORK YOU'VE EVER SEEN OF HIS. >> HE REALLY IS. >> AND SO ARE YOU. >> YOU ARE FANTASTIC. >> I'M REALLY GOOD. >> AND YOU'RE A REAL ACTOR TOO. MICHAEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. JASON SEGAL, HARRISON FORD, YOU'RE IN IT. IT'S SUCH A FANTASTIC SHOW. YOU CAN WATCH "SHRINKING" ON AP
